stumbled across this - not sure with vzw_bootani.zip

1) A description file (desc.txt) that outlines how the animation progresses, what images to use, image size etc.

2) Folder(s) that contain the images for the animation.

The basic structure of the bootanimation.zip file is as follows:

bootanimation.zip

|-- desc.txt

|-- part0

`-- part1

part0 and part1 are directories that contain a series of images for example, in part 0 there is:

part0

|-- boot_00001.png

|-- boot_00002.png

|-- boot_00003.png

|-- boot_00004.png

|-- boot_00005.png

|-- boot_00006.png

|-- boot_00007.png

|-- boot_00008.png

|-- boot_00009.png

`-- boot_00010.png

And in part 1 there are:

part1

|-- boot_00011.png

|-- boot_00012.png

|-- boot_00013.png

|-- boot_00014.png

|-- boot_00015.png

|-- boot_00016.png

|-- boot_00017.png

|-- boot_00018.png

|-- boot_00019.png

`-- boot_00020.png

These images form the 'part0' and 'part1' animations that are combined as outlined in the 'desc.txt' file to form the overall startup animation. The images are ordered by number and run in sequence.

The 'desc.txt' file outlines how the animation progresses and a sample is as follows:

512 256 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

'523' is the width of the animation

'256' is the height of the animation

'30' is the desired fps of the animation

'p' defines a animation part

'1' how many times this animation part loops

'0' defines a pause (max 10)

'part0' is the folder name where the animation images are

'p' defines another animation part

'0' defines that it loops forever (until android starts)

'0' defines a pause

'part1' is the folder for the second animation part.

Hope this helps those looking to create their own boot animations.

I flashed the Green HTC quietly rooted successfully, but upon reboot, it shows great, then shortly after, it shows HTC quietly brilliant... Is there another pg05IMG that its looking for and finds? If so, where do I find the other to trash it?

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] t_reax:
finally got it to work man...

And now, it's not creating duplicates of the 3 folders when installed. I was a little leary when I rebooted... But that splash screen and the htc boot green screen image you made followed by the animation TB is really bad ass! what took me so long was winrar and that guy's instructions. not the best, but nevertheless, a good starting point. Mostly winrar, I created and saved the archive as vzw_bootanimation.zip, set the compression method to store, went to a the files individually as suggested, but it would only save the files and not the directory. I tried file paths/store relative paths but that didn't include the any of the folders. I did some googling and read those files once replaced are very touchy and that is the reason why I think that dude said not to use normal compression and to use store with little or no compression. Out of desperation I finally created a new zip with the compression method set at "store" and added all of the files at one time as opposed to trying to do them serately. Anywho? thanks for the files and all of your help! Peace...

Yep, I think if you replace the images in VZW_bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip (in system\customize\resource, at least for me - rooted w/ Perfect Storm) with new .png's you should be good to go. Gonna try both tonight.

How do i Boot into Bootloader ?

Hold volume down and power when the phone is off
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jawonder:
I'M trying to Flash one of these screens and the instruction is to place on root of SD Card boot to bootloader were i'll see update splash , when i hold power and volume down while the phone is turn off i go to the S-off screen and i don't see anything about update splash .
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rusty2663:
Choose bootloader then it will ask you if you want to update and you press volume up for yes...make sure the file is called PG05IMG.zip otherwise it won't find it
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jawonder:
There's no bootloader option it says HBOOT then what you can select are :- FASTBOOT , RECOVERY , FACTORY RESET , HBOOT USB , SYSTEM INFO and IMAGE CRC
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rusty2663:
Choose hboot
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jawonder:
I'm sorry man but you cant select HBOOT .
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] inline6power:
are you sure you named the zip PG05IMG.zip and not PG05IMG.zip.zip

Ugh again

I can't get into bootloader. I shut the phone off, hold the Vol Down key and hold Power. Nothing happens as long as I hold it. once I let go of power tho my phone just starts up... am I not holding it long enough?

Can I use Rom Manager and Reboot into Recovery?

When I tried that it asks if I wanted to install the update from SD. But I didn't want to attempt that without knowing what that was.

Thanks!

Edit - There is an order to the operation... hold down power THEN hold down Vol Down . goes right in...

Finished product :))
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jawonder:
I've already told him that it's .zip and not .zip.zip . It's PGO5IMG.zip .and it's right on the root of the SD Card but when i boot into HBOOT it's picking up the file .

no the root of your sd card is not in any file. meaning if you open your computer link on your computer to see all of your drives, you should see the drive that is your phone. thats your sd card. just drag and drop the file onto that drive and that places it on your root of the sd card. you do not want to put the file into any folder of your sd card.

First of i have the latest HyperDroid-CM7

I have also done this guide. How to format your SD card

But even so i STILL cant get my apps to work when they are installed on the SD card. Had the same problem on the former ROM i had. I dont know whats wrong. If i move the app to the phone it works just fine.

PS. have installed app2sd (dont know wich one just googled one)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XthelordinatorX:
some apps just have this problem those apps (like angry birds) just only work when installed on phone memory
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
when you are using an ext partition, you dont choose to install to sd card, or use app manager to move them to sd card, , . Just leave them set to internal memory, and the OS will put them in the ext partition.

Your rom already has app2sd+ built in, (i think most do now, , note the +,, app2sd and app2sd+, not really sure of the difference, except the built in ones are +) you dont need to install it. It mentions app2sd+ in your roms second post, look out for that when you pick a rom, and you know it will automagically use the ext partition. No user input required.

do that, move an app back to the phone, then use a filemanager to browse to the sd-ext folder, you will see the app is there, , on the sd card, in the ext partition, even though the system says it is installed internally.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Razor1973:
Yes, I did see this sticky with links, but that is by no means a starting point for a total newbie, and by newbie I don't mean someone that's incapable of following instructions, as I've gone through several ROM's on my Pre, G1, myTouch 3G, EPIC 4G, iPhone/3G/3GS. I am just new to WP7 and that sticky doesn't really explain where to start.

Specifically, I am getting a used HD2 with WM6 on it and I want to end up with a dual-bool WM7/Android system on it. I just saw that was possible, but saw different combinations and different methods: WP7 on NAND & Android on SD and viceversa, etc.

Any tips would be appreciated.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Razor1973:
Short yes, but actually, that should give me a starting point, even though it did not explain which OS I should flash on NAND and which on SD or why, which sounds like one of the first things I need to decide. But yes, I guess I will need to do a lot of reading before knowing my path. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] caedanne:
Hi,

First of all you can't have WM7 and Android at the same time, or else, if you had a TMOUs you will find some tutorials to doi it.

I recommend you to search, you will find aht you are looking for.

At xda-developers.com first page you will find a link to how to do it... ok I give you a tip;) : http://www.xda-developers.com/android/complete-guide-to-installing-nand-android-on-hd2/

And I think this is not the correct forum to ask this ;)

See you
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
ok lets clear this up, HSPL, radio, MAGLDR, flash WP7, then follow tutorial to install android as well

Ive not bothered, since i moved to WP7 from android you couldnt pay me to go back, but i think the process is basically, install WP7 with a working small SD card, take SD card and clone it to a bigger SD card and then install android on the SD, there are plenty of tutorials on all this,.

also to be clear, you MUST install WP7 to NAND, it uses the SD card as well, you cant use it just on SD, so if you want android its (or it was the last time i checked) NAND+SD for WP7 and a alternate partition for android.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] chumaj001:
OK, doest your purchase seems to you as some sort of DEVELOPMENT? I guess not. SO why the hell are you placing your question in development section?

YOU ARE LAZY!:confused:

Because I'm USING developers' work and asking them about it, like 90% of the users of this forum. Not everyone who posts here is a cook.

Definitely not joking and that thread (which isn't stickied, by the way) is hardly the starting point I'm looking for, since it starts assuming you already have Gingerbread on your HD2 and you know that's now how they come from HTC or your local carrier. See part 1 video for yourself.

No need for this.

Searching is how I found out you definitely can have both.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] orangekid:
Here's your problem.

it looks like you didn't have an SD card in your phone when you flashed WP7 or something, you should have like a 3.5gb "unknown" partition if u used a 4gb card the first time. Here's how are/were supposed to do it.

Flash WP7 with a smaller micro SD card than you plan on using (you have to use 2 micro SD cards for this to work, one "big" and one "small") let's use a 4gb for this example and a 16gb.

put your 4gb small microsd in the phone and flash WP7, load up WP7 for the first time and do some set-up.

turn off your phone

put the 4GB card into your computer's SD card reader, and open up that partition manager, you will see a 3.5gb partition. If you have another card reader put in your 16gb and copy the parition from the 4gb to the 16gb, if you don't have a card reader then copy it to your PC or any flash drive with more than 4gb, then take out the 4gb micro sd and put in the 16.

copy the 3.5 partition to your 16gb big card and when it's done, you should see like 11gb unallocated and 3.5 unknown and 200mb ntfs or something.

resize the 200mb as high as you can (11.5gb) or something), then reformat it to fat32.

copy your Android build to the new fat 32 and put the 16gb card back into your phone.

You should now be good to go. WP7 has 3.5gb of space and Android has 11.5 or something. Do not EVER start WP7 without this SD card in there or it will hard reset and you will have no space for WP7
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Razor1973:
I am finishing the entire process again. This time, I used a different guide for the partitioning. It's very similar, but I think there's one little step in this one that was excluded from the other one and it's critical. Specifically, I'm referring to steps 2, 3 and 7 of Method # 3. Basically, after you've done the partitions in step 4, you must let WP7 reset again. I actually forgot this and experienced the 10GB... 10MB problem again. At that point, I manually reset settings again and was able to get my exact total and available storage right after the phone booted back up. Right now, I'm booting up my Android OS for the first time, but I did boot up WP7 twice successfully, with the right storage amounts. :)

Hi.

I have the samsung galaxy S and have just recently synced my phone contacts with my facebook and twitter accounts.

The only annoying thing about this is that obviously it also pulls information about the contact such as phone numbers, email addresses, etc. from the sites too. I have found that many of my contacts have old or disconnected telephone numbers as they have not updated them. This is not too much of a problem as I have their current phone details, etc. stored on my phone anyway, but I want to be able to hide the numbers or email addresses that have been pulled from my facebook/twitter account so they do not show on my contacts page.

I have marked up the relevant numbers as default, but I was wondering if there was a setting anywhere that would hide any numbers from twitter/facebook that have not been set as the default number.

Thanks for any info on this.
